jquery.watermark.js

I recently had to watermark some input areas (meaning, they have default text until they're focused). I noticed the default plugin from a quick search on Google to do this with jQuery was kinda of weak. Lots of unnecessary bits, seems limited to text input tags, creates unnecessary DOM elements.. and even seems to require the elements to have id attributes.

So here's my quick solution.

jquery.freebase.js

I've been working on a little widget that pulls data from Freebase (Can't say more than that yet) and needed a nice neat way to query.

In case it could come in handy here's a tiny jQuery plugin for querying Freebase over JSONP.

Custom Atom feed of Dropping Domains

I've made a quick API to retrieve a list of dropping domain names with an Atom XML Feed.

Any one that plays the Domain Drop game should like this.
